  • About This Recipe:

    Look, if it were up to us, we'd spend our entire lives at asados in Argentina, or at least at one of those Brazilian churrascarias where they walk around slicing your food off of a big honkin' meat tornado on a stick. But if we can't do that, this recipe is a pretty nice alternative. Our crisp and colorful chimichurri goes best with tender cuts of beef, and rib-eye is a favorite cut at outdoor barbecues, so this is a perfect pairing for a little slice of that world-renowned Argentine grilling tradition right in your own home. One of the most notable things about an asado is the famous slow-grilling method, so we're going to use MEATER to cook your rib-eye low and slow before doing a lil' reverse sear and then loading on the chimichurri. To make this more of a proper asado experience, serve up your rib-eye with a crisp, tangy salad and some grilled veggies. If you're looking for a classy beverage, you'll want something that can stand up to the meaty flavor of rib-eye. A full-bodied red wine like cabernet sauvignon or a robust stout is best suited for this job.

    Cooking Method:

  • 1

    Pre-Heat Oven

    Pre-heat your oven to 250°F (120°C). This can take up to 15m.

    We know, waiting for your food to cook isn't always fun. But as much as you may want to throw your steak in a blacksmithing forge so it can be done in 30s, it's best to cook it slowly at a low temperature so the fat can properly render. This bastes the steak from the inside, which will mean a much more tender and flavorful result.

  • 2

    Chop Parsley

    Cut off your parsley stems and finely chop the leaves.

    We like flat leaf parsley over curly parsley because it has a much more bold and intense taste. It's a little less common, but this will be the base of your sauce, so it's worth finding to get a flavor that'll pack a punch.

  • 3

    Mince Garlic

    Peel and mince your garlic.

  • 4

    Mince Chilies

    Remove the stems and seeds from your chilies and finely chop them, then wash your hands.

    You can use a food processor in a pinch, but you'll get the best results from chopping your ingredients by hand. This means more control over the texture of the sauce, and all of the different colors will be more noticeable, especially the pops of red from the peppers.

  • 5

    Squeeze Lemon Juice

    Juice your lemon.

    Lemon juice adds acidity and tanginess to balance out the powerful earthy flavors of the parsley and oregano.
